In an interview with guitarist Brian Baker that I read while in detention, he was asked, ‘You have a Coca-Cola tattoo, why do you have a Coca-Cola tattoo?’. Punk continued, “And his answer was, ‘I like Coca-Cola.’ I thought that it was a good opportunity for Punk to cause a stir. I don’t like Coke, I like Pepsi. I’m a Midwest kid at heart, and that’s why I got the Pepsi tattoo. This tattoo represents my straight edge lifestyle. I think wearing corporate logos is pointless. This means more to me than just a soft drink.”
